Gillian calmed down. His words were soothing. She continued to lean onto him until it was 5am and gavin returned home. They could feel his aura entering the premises.
Gillian said “I think it’s time to dismiss you. You can go now.”
Lucas stood up “Its been lovely. I will see you at noon.”
Gillian stood up and kissed him on the cheek. “I love giving you goodbye kisses. Goodnight.”
Lucas could see she expected the same. So he leaned close and reluctantly kissed her cheek and whispered “Good night.” He then took his leave.
Lucas met his alpha outside and gavin asked “Did she enjoy your company? I will ask her.”
Lucas nodded “I tried. Goodbye Alpha.” He then got into his Chevrolet and turned on the engine as music played. He drove home but then decided to drive around town to recover. Dating an alpha female was not like anything else. His nature said to run away. Messing with an alpha female could be fatal. She could snap his neck if she wanted to. She could destroy him mentally and physically if she wished it. It was all formalities that gavin gave him warnings. Gillian was fully capable and didn’t need her brother to defend her. Gillian was the threat to his life and everyone he loved. He felt the intensity of what he had just experienced. No other male could withstand being subject of her interrogation and questioning even in such mild manner. He had resisted the urge to kneel to her. He had used all the power he had not to cry or scream from the pressure of her power that she put on him back there. He wasn’t sure if she did it deliberately or her alpha instinct did it. She was choosing her mate and was testing his strength. He could feel her wolf on the surface as she had touched him. The wolf liked his strength. He could give her strong pups. He was a leader born to lead beside an alpha. He didn’t want this fate though. He wanted kelly Anne. He wished he could just grab her and run away. But becoming a rogue wasn’t going to be practical. Gavin was going to find him and was going to sanction him for running. More importantly if gavin found out why he ran away and why kelly Anne was taken hell was going to break loose. Kelly Anne didn’t deserve to die because Lucas wanted to betray the alphas sister. He just had to live with it.
Just as he was driving and thinking of kelly Anne, he coincidently saw her walking down a deserted road. He frowned and stopped in front of her blocking her path. He got off the car and said “Kelly Anne. Why are you walking alone?”
Kelly Anne was startled. She looked away as her voice trembled “There was no taxi.” She then felt him approach her and stand close to her. She heard his angry voice “And none of those employees offered you a ride. I will send them all to detention centre tomorrow.”
Kelly Anne gasped as she took a step away and looked up as she swallowed hard “His anger wasn’t at her. He didn’t unleash his aura power on her so she could look up “Please don’t. They offered to give me lifts. I said no. I don’t want to owe people anything.”
Lucas shook his head “I forbid you from walking alone at night. You will take offers when it’s given to you. That’s an order kelly Anne from me, your beta. If you disobey it, there are consequences.” He then thought to himself “You liar. What consequences. You won’t lift a finger on her.
Kelly Anne looked away “I understand.”
Lucas said “Good. Get in my car. I will take you home. Don’t argue with me. I am your beta and can arrest you for disobedience.” He then held the door open for her.
Kelly Anne was not planning on disobeying him. As if she dared. What made it conceivable to Lucas to think kelly Anne ever dared defy a beta. Werewolves didn’t forgive anyone unless it was their chosen partner in life who defied them.
Kelly Anne was touched at his gesture opening the car door. High ranked werewolves didn’t do that. They didn’t even glance at lower ranked wolves. Lucas was a beta. She muttered a thank you and got in.
Lucas closes the door soundly and got in to the car and drove away.
Kelly Anne asked “Beta Lucas. Why is it not ok to walk alone at night? I am just curious. I am not questioning you. I swear. I just want to know the reason.”
Lucas emphasised “Kelly Anne. You being alone by yourself is not favoured. There are rogue enemies who can enter our lands and I don’t want them keeping you hostage.”
Kelly Anne said “But this district is safe. No one dares come within miles of this district. This pack has a reputation. There were wars fought by this district that brings chills down anyone’s spine thinking about what this pack did to their enemies.”
Lucas said “Didn’t I tell you not to argue with me?”
Kelly Anne bit her lip “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to offend you... Please don’t arrest me.”
Lucas said “You did offend me. But I know you didn’t mean it. So it’s alright. Don’t worry. I won’t arrest you. I have bigger things to deal with tomorrow than interrogating juvenile first time offenders.”
Kelly Anne whispered “But I am not first time offender. I can be sent to the detention centre for my second offence. I was caught giving pain killer medicine to omegas after their punishment at school. It’s on my records that I have a major civil offence. It’s not a minor one...”
Lucas sighed “No. it’s not on your record. Don’t worry. You gave them medicine because you thought it’s pain inflicting tablets. So you were helping out. Don’t ever admit to your crimes. You never know who maybe listening. I covered for you that time but if you admit the crime someone else may charge you.”
Kelly Anne gasped and turned to him “Beta Lucas... You covered for me. Why?”
Lucas shrugged as he carried on driving “Because committing a second major civil offence could get you into a detention centre. I didn’t want that for you. I knew you were new and unfamiliar with our laws. You have been through enough already in your life....” He then finished his sentence in his mind “And I fell in love with you, Kelly Anne.”
Kelly Anne was so shocked “Thank you. Beta Lucas. She couldn’t believe how far he had gone to help her.
The car had stopped in front of the tower block where she lived.
Lucas turned to her “Why can’t you believe it. Not every man is out there to hurt you kelly Anne. You need to learn to trust men again. You will find a good man one day who would watch over you and take care of you. That’s what a real man should do. If there is anything you want to tell me kelly Anne, you can trust me. Your records are clean. Just go out there and don’t worry about getting sent to detention centre.” He then thought to himself “As long as I am alive you will never step foot in that detention centre.”
Kelly Anne turned to him and said “I wish I could thank you somehow and repay you for all you have done for me. You saved me from getting tortured in school too.”
Lucas said “Don’t mention it. But you can repay me by staying out of trouble. Don’t call me Beta Lucas by the way. I don’t pay attention to my title.”
Kelly Anne was totally mesmerised. He didn’t care for his status at all. Not only he didn’t abuse it but he used it for doing good. But she knew he was good but not this good.
Kelly Anne reached in her bag and took out a key ring with a cross ” I always hang one in all my rooms to remind me there is hope. This is for you. Angels in the sky always watch over us. I believe that.”
Lucas smiled and took it. “Thank you. I will hang it on my car mirror. You keep safe.”
Kelly Anne smiled and bid him good night as her heart was racing. Lucas made his heart melt. He was just so kind.
Lucas wrapped the cross and the chain around it on his car front mirror and looked outside at the building. After s few minutes when the light in kelly Anne’s room came on, he decided it was ok to leave. He just wanted her safe. He could not be with her. But at least he could watch over her and protect her.
He set off with his car and glanced at the cross. It had been along time he had seen a cross. There was always war and conflict. People had lost hope. Right now no one even believed in angels. This was heaven and hell on its own. The weak got weaker and the powerful gained more and more power. His district was even a moderate one. Werewolves were ruling and omegas alongside humans suffered every day. The reason he didn’t want kelly Anne to walk alone was because he didn’t want her to get arrested. On the street humans and omegas at times got into trouble. If she took the weak side she could get arrested. Werewolf rules were strict. It favoured power and rank. It did not favour the weak.
